By Car / Taxi / Bus

Let’s say you are in Athens City Center. In order to reach, for example, Astros, you have to use your own car, a rental one or to take the bus. Using a car, you may find and follow Leoforos. Athinon (Athens Highway) and EO8 to Olympia Odos/A8/E94 in Mandra and continue on Olympia Odos/A8/E94 to Nemea. You take the exit towards the Ancient Nemea/Nafplio/Mycenae from A/D Korinthou Tripoleos/A7. After you take EO Korinthou – Argous, EO Argous Tripoleos and Epar.Od. Kiveriou – Astrous to Agiou Konstantinou in Astros.

You may use also your Google Maps by pressing the following link HERE and just set you start location and start your trip.

There is also a bus that leaves from KTEL Attikis (KTEL Kifisou), that goes to Tripoli’s Bus Station, called KTEL Arcadias (KTEL Tripolis). From Tripoli, there is another bus that goes to Astros. For more details you may search and get info from their websites since these buses are not compatible with Google Maps and you cannot check the timetables, routes and prices as well. KTEL Attikis http://ktelattikis.gr/ and KTEL Arcadias https://ktelarkadias.gr/.

By Suburban Railway & Taxi / Car 

In Athens, the last years a new rail route is created from Athens International Airport and from Piraeus, with the Athens Suburban Railway that goes to Kiato, a nice village before Korinthos.

So either your landing is in Athens International Airport, either your boat arrives in Piraeus, you may take the route that goes to Kiato and one stop before you reach its terminal to disembark in Korinthos.

From there you may have arranged a transfer, take a taxi or either get a car rental and reach the town of Astros.

The duration of the train route is at about 1:00 to 1:30 hours and from Korinthos to Astros at about 1:30 hours with a normal and secured driving attitude, since the roads as always, globally, need of our full attention.
